Correct Answer: 702


Solution : Cost of first variety = INR 504
The cost of the second variety = INR 540
The ratio in which rice varieties are mixed = 1 : 1 : 2
Let INR $x$ be the cost of the third variety.
Cost of mixed variety = INR 612
According to the question,
$\frac{504×1 + 540×1 + x×2}{1 + 1+ 2} = 612$
$⇒\frac{1044 + 2x}{4}= 612$
$⇒x=\frac{612×4 - 1044}{2}= 702$
Hence, the correct answer is 702.
